Shopping and an Aussie BBQ

We eventually made our way into Trier city centre where we met up with Max once more. We’d recently discovered that there are quite a number of caches to be found around the city, so, we decided to try and uncover some of these. Our first attempt was unsuccessful, however we were able to uncover the second that we tried for. It’s always a nice feeling when you discover and achieve your goal in caching. Max and Kora both enjoyed their first caching experience too and spoke of getting themselves a GPS system so that they could continue on with this once we’ve left.

After this we Split up, the men going off for a drink while the women went off in search of jeans. Jeans here in Germany are EXTREMELY pricey! In a jean store we were looking at 90 EUROS, that’s almost $200 for a pair! I walked out very quickly, almost gave up on finding a pair, but then… we spotted a pair of nice, easy jeans in a department store… and they were on sale, we were able to score them for 15 Euros. According to Kora there has never been a bargain like this in the whole of Europe, which made me feel quite accomplished and chuffed with my new purchase.

Chris and I had made a promise that we would make Aussie burgers and potato salad while in Germany, and tonight was the night, which was good as I have had the biggest hankering for potato salad these last few days! As there was no BBQ here at Koras we had to buy a little disposable tin foil one that did the job wonderfully, however just slowly. We didn’t end up eating until 10.30pm, but it was worth it! Dinner was lovely but we decided to have an early night tonight as tomorrow we’re off to Bruges for the weekend and we plan to leave bright and early.
